Title: Should I be concerned?
Post by: ka30270 on March 19, 2018, 10:49:00 PM
Should I be concerned about these cracks in my choke tube? If you look you can see 3 cracks.

Thanks

If you have to ask, it does concern you.  I'm no gunsmith, and they may be fine, but I wouldn't want them on my gun.  For $35 (and up from there obviously) is it worth it?  Not bashing, just my thought. :anim_25:

I would not.  It could roll the end of choke over then stick the wad.

You mean "would not shoot it" correct.  Not "would not be concerned".  Just tobe clear for folks that happen upon this as you are our choke guru.  Thanks for that too.

What kind of choke is that?  I wouldn't shoot it.

It's a Truglo and they are covering it under warranty so all is good.
